LOAD

 

Description: The LOAD CARD submenu contains cards that define applied forces.

 

Usage:

 

1.  DSI prompts:

>   SELECT OPTION

 

Note: All of these options share this standard submenu.  Only the CREATE command differs with respect to each function and will be explained in the following pages.

 

CREATE         Defines a new card.

DELETE          Deletes a selected card or cards from those displayed in a pop-up window.

LIST               Lists the cards in the option's database via pop-up window.

MODIFY         Similar to the CREATE command, this command lists the defined cards in a pop-up window and allows the user to select and modify them.

-LOAD CARDS: BEAM

 

Description: This card defines a distributed traction load along any local axis, beam, or set of beams. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual for further description.

 

-LOAD CARDS: BLAST

 

Description: This card defines a blast load. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual for further description.

-LOAD CARDS: BODY

 

Description: This card defines body force loads due to a prescribed base acceleration or angular velocity using global axes directions. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual for further description.

 

-LOAD CARDS: BRODE

 

Description: This card defines pressure loads due to explosion. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual for further description.

 

-LOAD CARDS: DENSITY

 

Description: This card defines density versus depth for gravity loading. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual for further description.

 

-LOAD CARDS: HEAT GENERATION

 

Description: This card defines solid elements or solid element sets with heat generation. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual for further description.

 

-LOAD CARDS: MASK

 

Description: This card defines mask load. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual for further description.

 

-LOAD CARDS: NODE

 

Description: This card defines a concentrated nodal force to a node or a set of nodes. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual for further description.

 

-LOAD CARDS: RIGID BODY

 

Description: This card applies a concentrated nodal force to a rigid body.   The force is applied at the center of mass, or a moment is applied around a global axis. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual for further description.

 

-LOAD CARDS: SEGMENT PRESSURE

 

Description: This card defines a distributed pressure load over one triangular or quadrilateral segment defined by four nodes. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual for further description.

 

-LOAD CARDS: PLATE PRESSURE

 

Description: This card defines a distributed pressure load over one shell element or shell element set. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual for further description.

 

-LOAD CARDS: SUPERPLASTIC FORM

 

Description: This card is used to perform superplastic forming analyses.   This option can be applied to both solid and shell elements. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual  for further description.

 

-LOAD CARDS: SUB-SEA

 

Description: This card defines the effects of the primary explosion and the subsequent bubble oscillations. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual for further description.

 

-LOAD CARDS: THERMAL

 

Description: This card defines nodal temperatures that thermally load the structure. Refer to the LS-DYNA User's Manual for further description.
